NOTE

ORGANIZATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
China
Winds Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on June 24,
1987 under the name of Malex, Inc. On December 18, 2007, the Company’s corporate
name was changed to China Wind Systems, Inc.
On
November 13, 2007, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the
“Exchange Agreement”) among Fulland Limited, a Cayman Islands corporation
(“Fulland”), the stockholders of Fulland, and Synergy Business Consulting, LLC
(“Synergy”), the then principal stockholder of the Company, pursuant to which,
simultaneously with the financing described in Note 6, the Company (i) issued
36,577,704 shares of common stock to the former stockholders of Fulland,
(ii)
purchased 8,006,490 shares of common stock from Synergy for $625,000 and
cancelled such shares, (iii) issued Synergy 291,529 shares of common stock
for
professional services, and (iv) paid cash fees of $415,000 in connection
with
the Exchange Agreement. The Company paid $1,040,000 from the proceeds of
the
financing for closing costs, including the $625,000 paid for shares from
Synergy. At the time of the closing, under the Exchange Agreement and the
financing, the Company, then known as Malex, Inc. was not engaged in any
business activity and was considered a blank check shell.
The
Company is the sole stockholder of Fulland. Fulland owns 100% of Green Power
Environment Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (“Green Power”), which is a wholly
foreign-owned enterprise (“WFOE”) organized under the laws of the People’s
Republic of China (“PRC” or “China”). Green Power is a party to a series of
contractual arrangements, as fully described below, dated October 12, 2007
with
Wuxi Huayang Dye Machine Co., Ltd. (“Huayang Dye Machine”) and Wuxi Huayang
Electrical Power Equipment Co., Ltd. (“Huayang Electrical Power Equipment”, and
together with Huayang Dye Machines, sometimes collectively referred to as
the
“Huayang Companies”), both of which are limited liability companies
headquartered in, and organized under the laws of, the PRC.
Fulland
is a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman
Islands
on May 9, 2007, which was formed by the owners of the Huayang Companies as
a
special purpose vehicle for purposes of raising capital, in accordance with
requirements of the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE”). On
May 31, 2007, SAFE issued an official notice known as Hui Zong Fa [2007]
No. 106
(“Circular 106”), which requires the owners of any Chinese company to obtain
SAFE’s approval before establishing any offshore holding company structure for
foreign financing as well as subsequent acquisition matters in China.
Accordingly, the owners of the Huayang Companies, Mr. Jianhua Wu and Ms.
Lihua
Tang, submitted their application to SAFE in early September 2007. On October
11, 2007, SAFE approved their application, permitting these Chinese citizens
to
establish an offshore company, Fulland, as a special purpose vehicle for
any
foreign ownership and capital raising activities by the Huayang Companies.
In
2007,
the Company recapitalized the Company to give effect to the share exchange
agreement discussed above. Under generally accepted accounting principles,
the
acquisition by the Company of Fulland is considered to be capital transactions
in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the acquisition
is
equivalent, to the acquisition by Fulland of the Company, then known as Malex,
Inc., with the issuance of stock by Fulland for the net monetary assets of
the
Company. This transaction is reflected as a recapitalization, and is accounted
for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the
acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition. Under
reverse takeover accounting, the comparative historical financial statements
of
the Company, as the legal acquirer, are those of the accounting acquirer,
Fulland. Since Fulland and Greenpower did not have any business activities,
the
Company’s financial statements prior to the closing on the reverse acquisition,
reflect only business of the Huayang Companies. The accompanying financial
statements reflect the recapitalization of the stockholders’ equity as if the
transactions occurred as of the beginning of the first period presented.
Thus,
the 36,577,704 shares of common stock issued to the former Fulland stockholders
are deemed to be outstanding for all periods reported prior to the date of
the
reverse acquisition.

ORGANIZATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
The
Huayang Companies are considered variable
interest
entities
(“VIE”), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company’s relationships
with the Huayang Companies and their shareholders are governed by a series
of
contractual arrangements between Green Power, the Company’s wholly foreign-owned
enterprise in the PRC, and each of the Huayang Companies, which are the
operating companies of the Company in the PRC. Under PRC laws, each of Green
Power, Huayang Dye Machine and Huayang Electrical Power Equipment is an
independent legal person and none of them is exposed to liabilities incurred
by
the other parties. The contractual arrangements constitute valid and binding
obligations of the parties of such agreements. Each of the contractual
arrangements and the rights and obligations of the parties thereto are
enforceable and valid in accordance with the laws of the PRC. On October
12,
2007, the Company entered into the following contractual arrangements with
each
of Huayang Dye Machine and Huayang Electrical Power Equipment:
Consulting
Services Agreement.
Pursuant to the exclusive consulting services agreements between Green Power
and
the Huayang Companies, Green Power has the exclusive right to provide to
the
Huayang Companies general business operation services, including advice and
strategic planning, as well as consulting services related to the technological
research and development of dye and finishing machines, electrical equipments
and related products (the “Services”).
Under
this agreement, Green Power owns the intellectual property rights developed
or
discovered through research and development, in the course of providing the
Services, or derived from the provision of the Services. The Huayang Companies
shall pay a quarterly consulting service fees in Renminbi (“RMB”) to Fulland
that is equal to all of the Huayang Companies’ profits for such
quarter.

and
all shareholders of the Huayang Companies (collectively the “Huayang
Companies Shareholders”),
Green

operations, financial management and employment issues. The Huayang Companies
Shareholders must designate the candidates recommended by Green Power as
their
representatives on the boards of directors of each of the Huayang Companies.
Green Power has the right to appoint senior executives of the Huayang Companies.
In addition, Green Power agrees to guarantee the Huayang Companies’ performance
under any agreements or arrangements relating to the Huayang Companies’ business
arrangements with any third party. The Huayang Companies, in return, agrees
to
pledge their accounts receivable and all of their assets to Green Power.
Moreover, the Huayang Companies agrees that without the prior consent of
Green
Power, the Huayang Companies will not engage in any transactions that could
materially affect their respective assets, liabilities, rights or operations,
including, without limitation, incurrence or assumption of any indebtedness,
sale or purchase of any assets or rights, incurrence of any encumbrance on
any
of their assets or intellectual property rights in favor of a third party
or
transfer of any agreements relating to their business operation to any third
party. The term of this agreement is ten (10) years from October 12, 2007

Option
Agreement. Under
the
option agreement between the Huayang Companies Shareholders and Green Power,
the
Huayang Companies Shareholders irrevocably granted Green Power or its designated
person an exclusive option to purchase, to the extent permitted under PRC
law,
all or part of the equity interests in the Huayang Companies for the cost
of the
initial contributions to the registered capital or the minimum amount of
consideration permitted by applicable PRC law. Green Power or its designated
person has sole discretion to decide when to exercise the option, whether
in
part or in full. The term of this agreement is ten (10) years from October
12,
2007 and may be extended prior to its expiration by written agreement of
the
parties.
The
accounts of the
Huayang Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements
pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46
(Revised), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of
ARB No. 51”. As a VIE, the
Huayang Companies sales are included in the Company’s total sales, its income
from operations is consolidated with the Company’s, and the Company’s net income
includes all of the
Huayang Companies net income. The Company does not have any non-controlling
interest and accordingly, did not subtract any net income in calculating
the net
income attributable to the Company. Because of the contractual arrangements,
the
Company had a pecuniary interest in the
Huayang Companies that require consolidation of the Company’s and the
Huayang Companies financial statements.
Use
of
estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues,
expenses, and the related disclosures at the date of the financial statements
and during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from
these estimates. Significant estimates in 2008 and 2007 include the allowance
for doubtful accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life
of
property and equipment and intangible assets, accruals for taxes due, and
the
calculation of the value of warrants granted upon the conversion of debt
to
preferred stock.
Fair
value of financial instruments
Effective
January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS
157). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods
for
measuring fair value, and establishes a fair value hierarchy to classify
the
inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level
1-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or
liabilities available at the measurement date.
Level
2-Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities
in
active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities
in
markets that are not active, inputs other then quoted prices that are
observable, and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market
data.
Level
3-Inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect the reporting entity’s own
assumptions on what assumptions the market participants would use in pricing
the
asset or liability based on the best available information.
The
adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Company’s fair
value measurements. The
carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable,
loans payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, customer advances,
and
amounts due from related parties approximate their fair market value based
on
the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Cash
and cash equivalents
For
purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers
all
highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less
and
money market accounts to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash
and
cash equivalents with various financial institutions mainly in the PRC and
the
United States. Balances in the United States are insured up to $100,000 at
each
bank. Balances in banks in the PRC are uninsured.
Concentrations
of credit risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. Substantially
all of the Company’s cash is maintained with state-owned banks within the
People’s Republic of China of
which
no deposits are covered by insurance. The Company has not experienced any
losses
in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any risks on its cash
in bank
accounts. A
significant portion of the Company's sales are credit sales which are primarily
to customers whose ability to pay is dependent upon the industry economics
prevailing in these areas; however, concentrations of credit risk with respect
to trade accounts receivables is limited due to generally short payment terms.
The Company also performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers to
help
further reduce credit risk. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the
Company’s bank deposits by geographic area were as follows:

Accounts
receivable
Accounts
receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company
maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses. The Company
reviews the accounts receivable on a periodic basis and makes general and
specific allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual
balances. In evaluating the collectability of individual receivable balances,
the Company considers many factors, including the age of the balance, customer’s
historical payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic
trends. Accounts are written off after exhaustive efforts at collection.
At June
30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company has established, based on a review
of its outstanding balances, an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount
of
$841,517 and $626,218, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories,
consisting of raw materials, work in process and finished goods related to
the
Company’s products are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the
weighted average method.
An
allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories
may
not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to
obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, the Company will
record
reserves for the difference between the cost and the market value. These
reserves are recorded based on estimates. The Company recorded an inventory
reserve of $78,967 and $74,192 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
respectively.

Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are carried at cost
and are
depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the
assets.
The
cost of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements
and
improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the
cost
and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting
gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition. The Company
examines the possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events
or changes in circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may
not
be recoverable.
Investment
in non-marketable equity securities
Certain
securities that the Company may invest in can be determined to be
non-marketable. Non-marketable securities where the Company owns less than
20%
of the investee are accounted for at cost pursuant to APB No. 18, “The Equity
Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock” (“APB 18”). At December
31, 2007, the Company had a 5% membership interest in Wuxi Huayang Yingran
Machinery Co. Ltd. (“Yingran”) amounting to $34,181, which at December 31, 2007,
is reflected on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as investments
in
cost method investee. In March 2008, the Company sold its 5% investment in
Yingran to an individual related to the Company’s chief executive officer for a
price which approximated its carrying value.
Impairment
of long-lived assets
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, The Company
periodically reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events
or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets
may not
be fully recoverable. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the
sum of
expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount
of the
asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the
asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. The Company did not consider it
necessary to record any impairment charges during the six months ended June
30,
2008 and 2007.
Advances
from customers
Income
taxes
The
Company is governed by the Income Tax Law of the People’s Republic of China and
the United States. Income taxes are accounted for under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which is an asset
and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets
and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have
been
recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns.

Revenue
recognition
The
Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price
is
fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company
accounts for the product sale as a multiple element arrangement. Revenue
from
multiple element arrangements is allocated among the separate accounting
units
based on the residual method. Under the residual method, the revenue is
allocated to undelivered elements based on fair value of such undelivered
elements and the residual amounts of revenue allocated to delivered elements.
The Company recognizes revenues from the sale of dyeing equipment, forged
rolled
rings, and electric equipment upon shipment and transfer of title. The other
elements may include installation and generally a one-year warranty. Equipment
installation revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to
complete installation and is recognized when the labor has been completed
and
the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which is generally within
a
couple days of the delivery of the equipment. Warranty revenue is valued
based
on estimated service person hours to complete a service and generally is
recognized over the contract period. For the six months ended June 30, 2008
and
2007, amounts allocated to warranty revenues were not material. Based on
historical experience, warranty service calls and any related labor costs
have
been minimal.
All
other
product sales with customer specific acceptance provisions, including the
forged
rolled rings, are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of
the
parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon
shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.
Stock-based
compensation
The
Company accounts for stock options issued to employees in accordance with
SFAS
123R, “Share-Based Payment, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS

Foreign
currency translation
The
reporting currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency
of
the Company is the local currency, the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”). Results of
operations and cash flows are translated at average exchange rates during
the
period, assets and liabilities are translated at the unified exchange rate
at
the end of the period, and equity is translated at historical exchange rates.
Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating the local
currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in determining
comprehensive income. The cumulative translation adjustment and effect of
exchange rate changes on cash for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007
was $184,067 and $6,182, respectively. Transaction gains and losses that
arise
from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency
other
than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as
incurred.
Asset
and
liability accounts at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were translated
at
6.8718 RMB to $1.00 USD and at 7.3141 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. Equity
accounts were stated at their historical rate. The average translation rates
applied to income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
were 7.07263 RMB and 7.7299 RMB to $1.00 USD, respectively. In accordance
with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows,"
cash flows from the Company's operations are calculated based upon the local
currencies using the average translation rate. As a result, amounts related
to
assets and liabilities reported on the statement of cash flows will not
necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the balance
sheet.
Earnings
(loss) per share of common stock
Basic
earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted income
per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number
of
shares of common stock, common stock equivalents and potentially dilutive
securities outstanding during each period. Potentially dilutive common shares
consist of common shares issuable upon the conversion of Series A convertible
stock (using the if-converted method) and common stock warrants. The following

2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3,
Accounting
for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future
Research and Development Activities,
(“EITF
07-3”) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.
EITF 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for future research
and
development activities be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be
recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services
are
performed. It is expected that adoption of EITF 07-3 will not have a material
impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or
liquidity.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS
141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles
and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The
Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users
to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS
141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
adoption of SFAS 141(R) may have an impact on accounting for future business
combinations once adopted.

ORGANIZATION
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS
160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership
interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount
of
consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling
interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained
non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The
Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient
disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of
the
parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has not
determined the effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on its
financial statements.
In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.
The new
standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments
and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors
to
better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued
for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with
early application encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact
of
adopting SFAS 161 on its consolidated financial statements.
In
May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff
Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement).
FSP APB
14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash
upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement)
are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting
for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase
Warrants.
Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should
separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that
will
reflect the entity’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is
recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt FSP APB
14-1
beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be
applied
on a retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption
of
FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial position and results
of
operations.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.
162, The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
This
standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent
framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in
preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental
entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.
The
Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the
preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
On
June
16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1,
“Determining
Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities,”
to
address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment
transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines
that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend
payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance
will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
Company is currently evaluating the requirements of (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1
as
well as the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial
statements.

INTANGIBLE
ASSETS
There
is
no private ownership of land in China. Land is owned by the government and
the
government grants land use rights for specified terms. The Company’s land use
rights are valued at a fixed amount, which is RMB 42,895,674 at June 30, 2008
and the dollar value of the land use right fluctuates based on the exchange
rate. In 2008, in connection with the acquisition of land use rights from
a
related party (See Note 8), the Company was granted the transferred land
use
rights from the government and accordingly, the Company reclassified
approximately $5,500,000 from deposits on long-term assets to intangible
assets.
The Company’s land use rights have terms of 45 and 50 years and expire on
January 1, 2053 and October 30, 2053, respectively. The Company amortizes
these
land use rights over the term of the respective land use right. For the six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, amortization expense amounted to $66,761
and $5,170, respectively.

(d) Securities
Purchase Agreement
Pursuant
to the purchase agreement, in addition to the issuance of the convertible
notes:
· |
The
Company agreed to have appointed such number of independent directors
that
would result in a majority of its directors being independent directors,
that the audit committee would be composed solely of not less than
three
independent directors and the compensation committee would have at
least
three directors, a majority of which shall be independent directors
within
90 days after the closing, which was February 11, 2008. Failure to
meet
this date will result in liquidated damages commencing February 12,
2008,
until the date on which the requirement is satisfied. Thereafter,
if the
Company does not meet these requirements for a period of 60 days
for an
excused reason, as defined in the Purchase Agreement, or 75 days
for a
reason which is not an excused reason, this would result in the imposition
of liquidated damages. The investors have agreed to waive any liquidated
damages related to the initial appointment of independent directors
and
the establishment of the committees which occurred in March
2008.
|
· |
The
Company agreed to have a qualified chief financial officer who may
be a
part-time chief financial officer until February 13, 2008. If the
Company
cannot hire a qualified chief financial officer promptly upon the
resignation or termination of employment of a former chief financial
officer, the Company may engage an accountant or accounting firm
to
perform the duties of the chief financial officer. In
no event shall the Company either (i) fail to file an annual, quarter
or
other report in a timely manner because of the absence of a qualified
chief financial officer, or (ii) not have a person who can make the
statements and sign the certifications required to be filed in an
annual
or quarterly report under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
|
· |
Liquidated
damages for failure to comply with the preceding two covenants are
computed in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the purchase price,
up to
a maximum of 12% of the purchase price, which is $663,000, which
is
payable in cash or series A preferred stock, at the election of the
investors. If payment is made is shares of series A preferred stock,
each
share is valued at $.374 per share.
|
· |
The
Company and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement
pursuant to which the Company agreed to file, by January 12, 2008,
a
registration statement covering the common stock issuable upon conversion
of the series A preferred stock and exercise of the warrants and
to have
the registration statement declared effective by June 11, 2008. The
failure of the Company to have the registration statement declared
effective by June 11, 2008 and other timetables provided in the
registration rights agreement would result in the imposition of liquidated
damages, which are payable through the issuance of additional shares
of
series A preferred stock at the rate of 4,860 shares of series A
preferred
stock for each day, based on the proposed registration of all of
the
underlying shares of common stock, with a maximum of 1,770,000 shares.
The
number of shares issuable per day is subject to adjustment if the
Company
cannot register all of the required shares as a result of the Securities
and Exchange Commission’s interpretation of Rule 415. The registration
rights agreement also provides for additional demand registration
rights
in the event that the investors are not able to register all of the
shares
in the initial registration statement.
|
The
Company filed its registration on February 14, 2008 and has not been declared
effective as of the date of this report. However,
pursuant to FASB Staff Position, or FSP, EITF 00-19-2, Accounting
for Registration Payment Arrangements,
the
Company has determined that it is unlikely that circumstances allowing for
the
aforementioned liquidated damages would arise, and therefore no contingent
liability has been recorded and believes
that the registration statement will be declared effective by June 11,
2008.
· |
The
Investors have a right of first refusal on future
financings.
|
· |
Until
the earlier of November 13, 2011 or such time as the Investors shall
have
sold all of the underlying shares of common stock, the Company is
restricted from issuing convertible debt or preferred
stock.

|
· |
The
Company’s officers and directors agreed, with certain limited exceptions,
not to publicly sell shares of common stock for 27 months or such
earlier
date as all of the convertible securities and warrants have been
converted

The
Company entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which the Company
issued into escrow its 3% convertible promissory note due March 31,
2008
in the principal amount of $3,000,000. Upon the filing of the Restated
Certificate this note automatically was converted into 24,787,135
shares
of series A preferred stock. These shares of series A preferred stock
are
in addition to the 14,787,135
shares of series A preferred stock issued to the investors upon conversion
of the convertible notes held by them.
The series A preferred stock is to be held in escrow subject to the
following.
|
·
|
14,787,135
shares are held pursuant to the following provisions. If, for the
year
ended December 31, 2008, the Company’s pre-tax earnings per share are less
than the target numbers, all or a portion of such shares are to be
delivered to the Investors. The agreement also had a target for 2007,
which was met, and no shares were delivered with respect to 2007.
If the
pre-tax earnings are less than 50% of the target, all of the shares
are to
be delivered to the Investors. If the shortfall is less than 50%,
the
number of shares to be delivered to the Investors is determined on
a
formula basis.
|
·
|
The
target number for
2008 is $0.13131 per share. The per share numbers are based on all
shares
that are outstanding or are issuable upon exercise or conversion
of all
warrants or options, regardless of whether such shares would be used
in
computing diluted earnings per share under
GAAP.
|
·
|
If
the Company does not file its Form 10-K for 2008 within 30 days after
the
filing is required, after giving effect to any extension permitted
by Rule
12b-25 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any shares remaining
in
escrow shall be delivered to the
Investors.
|
·
|
The
remaining 10,000,000 shares of series A preferred stock are to be
delivered to the Investors in the event that, based on the Company’s
audited financial statements for 2007 and 2008 the Company or certain
affiliated companies owes any taxes to the PRC government or any
authority
or taxing agency of the PRC for any period ended on or prior to September
30, 2007. For each $1.00 of such tax liability, four shares of series
A
preferred stock are to be delivered to the Investors. At December
31,
2007, the Company did not have any tax liabilities for the period
ended on
or prior to September 30, 2007.
|
· |
With
certain exceptions, until the Investors have sold all of the underlying
shares of Common Stock, if the Company sells common stock or issues
convertible securities with a conversion or exercise price which
is less
than the conversion price of the preferred stock, the conversion
price of
the series A preferred stock and the exercise price of the warrants
is
reduced to the lower price.
|
· |
In
connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, $30,000 was deducted
from the gross proceeds and was paid to an investor as reimbursement
for
due diligence expenses, which was deferred as a debt discount and
was
amortized over the life of the convertible notes. Other fees incurred
in
connection with the debt issuance include $25,000 of legal fees,
which
were treated as a deferred debt issue costs and are being amortized
to
debt issue cost expense over the life of the notes. The unamortized
portion of this debt discount on March 28, 2008, the date on which
the
convertible notes were automatically converted, was recognized at
that
time.

Beneficial
Conversion Feature; Deemed Dividend
The
Company evaluated the application of EITF 98-5, “Accounting
for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently
Adjustable Conversion Ratios,”
and EITF
00-27, “Application
of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”
and
concluded that the convertible notes have a beneficial conversion option
Pursuant to EITF 00-27, Issue 15, the Company computed the intrinsic value
of
the conversion option at $2,610,938 based on a comparison of (a) the proceeds
of
the convertible debt allocated to the common stock portion of the conversion
option by first allocating the proceeds received from the convertible debt
offering to the debt and the detachable warrants on a relative fair value
basis,
and (b) the fair value at the commitment date of the common stock to be received
by the Company upon conversion. The excess of (b) over (a) is the intrinsic
value of the embedded conversion option of $2,610,938 that has been recognized
by the Company as discount to the notes were amortized using the straight-line
method over the shorter (1) the term of Notes, (2) the conversion of the
notes
to common stock, or (3) upon filing by the Company of certificate
of designation
and
immediate conversion of the notes to the series A preferred stock and warrants.

The
Company filed the Restated Certificate on March 28, 2008 and accordingly,
the
Company recognized the value of the warrants and any remaining debt discount
upon conversion of the debt.
The
conversion features for the convertible notes have been evaluated under
FAS
150,
FAS
133, and EITF 00-19 and are deemed not to be an embedded derivative and any
value attributable to these features would be classified as
equity.
As
discussed above, upon filing of the Company’s restated certificate of
incorporation on March 28, 2008, the Company issued warrants to purchase
18,829,756 shares of the common stock. At November 13, 2007, the
fair
value of the warrants used to calculate the intrinsic value of the conversion
option was estimated at $2,884,062 and was computed using the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model based on the assumed issuance of the warrants on the
date
the notes were issued. Variables used in the option-pricing model include
(1) risk-free interest rate at the date of grant (3.84%), (2) expected
warrant life of 5 years, (3) expected volatility of 150%, and
(4) 0% expected dividend.
As
the
series A preferred stock does not require redemption by the Company or have
a
finite life, upon issuance of the warrants, a one-time preferred stock deemed
dividend of $2,884,062 was recognized immediately as a non-cash charge at
March
28, 2008. The non-cash, deemed dividend did not have an effect on net earnings
or cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The estimated fair
market
value of the warrants of $2,884,062 has been recorded as additional paid-in
capital and a reduction to retained earnings.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2008, amortization of debt issue costs was
$21,429
and included any remaining balance of debt issue costs that was expensed
upon
conversion of the convertible debt to the series A preferred stock. At December
31, 2007, deferred debt costs of $21,429 were included in prepaid expenses
and
other on the consolidated balance sheets. The amortization of debt discounts
for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $2,263,661, which has been included
in
interest expense on the accompanying statement of operations and included
any
remaining balance of the debt discount that was expense upon conversion of
the
convertible debt to the series A preferred stock, which occurred on March
28,
2008.
In
November 2007, the Company evaluated whether or not the convertible notes
contain embedded conversion options, which meet the definition of derivatives
under SFAS 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”
and related interpretations. The Company concluded that since the convertible
notes had a fixed conversion rate of $0.374, the convertible notes were not
derivative instruments. The Company analyzed this provision under EITF 05-04
and, although the debt is unconventional, the reset provision is deemed within
the Company’s control and therefore it qualified as equity under EITF
00-19
The
convertible notes liability is as follows at June 30, 2008 and December 31,

PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)
Due
to related parties
The
chief
executive officer of the Company and his spouse, from time to time, provided
advances to the Company for operating expenses. At June 30, 2008 and December
31, 2007, the Company did not have any payable to the chief executive officer
and his spouse. These advances were short-term in nature and non-interest
bearing.
Boiler,
from time to time, provided advances to the Company for working capital
purposes. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had a payable
to
Boiler of $0 and $98,541, respectively. These advances were short-term in
nature
and non-interest bearing.
Deposits
on long-term assets -related party and other
In
July
2007, the Company agreed to acquire long-term assets from Boiler for an
aggregate price of 89,282,500 RMB or approximately $12,207,000. This original
purchase price was reduced by 9,196,341RMB or approximately $1,257,000 which
represents 33% of the appreciation in the long-term assets atrtributable
to
Boiler prior to the Company’s sales of its interest in Boiler.The long-term
assets consist of i) an approximately 100,000 square foot factory which was
substantially completed in 2005, ii) land use rights, iii) employee housing
facilities and iv) other leasehold improvements. As of June 30, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, payments totaling 80,086,159 RMB and 79,458,230 RMB or
approxmately $11,654,000 and $10,864,000, respectively, had been made to
Boiler,
adjusted by the foreign exchange rate. In 2008, in connection with the
acquisition of land use rights from a related party, the Company was granted
the
transferred land use rights from the government and accordingly, the Company
reclassified approximately $5,500,000 from deposits on long-term assets to
intangible assets (See Note 5). As of June 30, 2008, the Company has not
received title to the facilities and the property has not been placed in
service. The
Company has initiated the transfer of the title to the facilities and the
transfer is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2008 at which
time
the deposit on long-term assets will be reclassified to property and equipment.

during the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company made of cash deposit
of
$2,725,487 for factory equipment for the new factory, having a total cost
of

OPERATING
RISK
(a)
Country risk
Currently,
the Company’s revenues are primarily derived from the sale of machinery to
customers in China. A downturn or stagnation in the economic environment
of the
PRC could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial
condition.
(b)
Exchange risk
The
Company cannot guarantee that the current exchange rate will remain steady,
therefore there is a possibility that the Company could post the same amount
of
profit for two comparable periods and because of a fluctuating exchange rate
actually post higher or lower profit depending on exchange rate of Chinese
Renminbi (RMB) converted to U.S. dollars on that date. The exchange rate
could
fluctuate depending on changes in the political and economic environments
without notice.
NOTE

STATUTORY
RESERVES
The
Company is required to make appropriations to reserve funds, comprising the
statutory surplus reserve, statutory public welfare fund and discretionary
surplus reserve, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles of the People’s Republic of China (the
“PRC GAAP”). Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve should be at least
10% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with the PRC GAAP
until
the reserve is equal to 50% of the entities’ registered capital or members’
equity. Appropriations to the statutory public welfare fund are at a minimum
of
5% of the after tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP.
Commencing on January 1, 2006, the new PRC regulations waived the requirement
for appropriating retained earnings to a welfare fund. As of December 31,
2006,
the Company appropriated the required maximum 50% of its registered capital
to
statutory reserves for Dyeing. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, statutory

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
The
following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition should
be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the
six
months ended June 30, 2008 and notes thereto contained in this quarterly
report
on Form 10-Q.
Overview
Prior
to
November 13, 2007, we were a public reporting blind pool company with no
assets.
On November 13, 2007, we executed and completed the transactions contemplated
by
the share exchange agreement with Fulland and its stockholders and Synergy,
which was then principal stockholder. Pursuant to this agreement, simultaneously
with the financing as discussed below, (i) the Company issued 36,577,704
shares
of common stock to the former stockholders of Fulland, (ii) purchased 8,006,490
shares of common stock from Synergy for $625,000 and cancelled such shares,
(iii) issued Synergy 291,529 shares of common stock for professional services,
and (iv) paid cash fees of $415,000 in connection with the exchange agreement.
Aggregate payments of $1,040,000 were made from the proceeds of the financing,
including the $625,000 paid to Synergy as described above.
Fulland
conducts
its business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiary,
Green
Power, in PRC as a wholly-owned foreign limited liability company. Green
Power,
through the Huayang Companies, is engaged in the design, manufacture and
sale of
a variety of high and low temperature dyeing and finishing machinery, the
manufacture of high precision forged rolled rings for the wind power industry
and other industries and the design, manufacture and sale of electric power
auxiliary apparatuses (including coking equipment), sewage-treatment equipment
and related parts or fittings. Green Power operates and controls the Huayang
Companies through contractual arrangements. Fulland used the contractual
arrangements to acquire control of the Huayang Companies, instead of acquiring
the business of Huayang Companies in order not to violate the laws of the
PRC
that significantly restrict a PRC company from selling its assets to a foreign
entity other than for cash and otherwise impose restriction on foreign
investment in PRC companies.
The
acquisition of Fulland was accounted for as a reverse merger because on a
post-merger basis, the former shareholders of Fulland held a majority of
our
outstanding common stock on a voting and fully-diluted basis. As a result
of the
share exchange, Fulland was deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, the financial statement data presented are those of Fulland
(including the Huayang Companies) for all periods prior to our acquisition
of
Fulland on November 13, 2007, and the financial statements of the consolidated
companies from the acquisition date forward. Since Fulland did not have any
separate operations prior to November 13, 2007, the financial statements
of
Fulland reflect the operations of the Huayang Companies.
Our
revenues are derived from two unrelated businesses - (1) the manufacture
of
dyeing & finishing equipment and (2) the manufacture of forged rolled rings
and other components for the wind power and other industries and electric
power
auxiliary apparatuses (including coking equipment). We market products from
these two segments with independent marketing groups to different customer
bases.
Dyeing
and finishing equipment segment
The
dyeing and finishing equipment business has been the principal source of
our
revenue and operating income, accounting for 56.9% of revenue for the six
months
ended June 30, 2008 and 81.1% of revenues for the year ended December 31,
2007.
Substantially all of our sales of these products are made to companies in
the
PRC. As a result, we are dependent upon the continued growth of the textile
industry in the PRC. To the extent that growth in this industry stagnates
in the
PRC, whether as a result of export restrictions from countries such as the
United States, who are major importers of Chinese-made textiles, or shifts
in
international manufacturing to countries which may have a lower cost than
the
PRC or overexpansion of the Chinese textile industry, we will have more
difficulty in selling these products in the PRC, and we may have difficulty
exporting our equipment. Further, as the textile industry seeks to lower
costs
by purchasing equipment that uses the most technological developments to
improve
productivity, reduce costs and have less adverse environmental impact, if
we are
not able to offer products utilizing the most current technology, our ability
to
market our products will suffer. Although we seek to work with our customers
in
designing equipment to meet their anticipated needs, we cannot assure you
that
we will be able to develop products and enhancements that are required or
desired by the industry.
25
Forged
rolled rings and electric power equipment segment
In
our
forged rolled rings and electrical power equipment segment, we manufacture
high
precision forged rolled rings for the wind power industry and other industries.
Additionally, we also manufacture specialty equipment used in the production
of
coal generated electricity. Revenue from our forged rolled rings and electrical
power equipment segment accounted for 41.7% of revenue for the three months
ended June 30, 2008, 43.1% of revenues for the six months ended June 30,
2008,
and 18.9% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007 and is summaries

During
2007, we began to generate revenue from the forging of rolled rings for the
wind
power and other industries. These activities accounted for 36.5% of net revenues
for the three months ended June 30, 2008, 37.1% for the six months ended
June
30, 2008 and 7.8% for the year ended December 31, 2007. We expect that rolled
rings will become a more significant percentage of total revenues in the
future,
and, in this connection we are expanding our manufacturing facilities to
enable
us to manufacture forged rolled rings with a larger diameter in order to
meet
the perceived needs of the wind power industry.
We
acquired from an affiliated company for a net price of approximately
$10,950,000, an approximately 100,000 square foot factory which was
substantially completed in 2005 together with the related land use rights,
employee housing facilities and other leasehold improvements. As of June
30,
2008, the purchase price was fully paid. Furthermore, through June 30, 2008,
we
have incurred additional costs of approximately $2.2 million for leasehold
improvements to upgrade this facility for the eventual manufacture of larger
roll rings and other componenets with a focus on the wind power industry.
Although we have received the land use rights, as of the date of this report,
we
have not received title to the factory facilities and the property has not
been
placed in service. We intend to use this new facility to manufacture forged
rolled rings and other components for use in the wind power and other
industries. To date, most of our rolled ring sales have been for non-wind
applications. As we expand our facilities to accommodate the manufacture
of rolled rings with larger diameters, we plan to develop products for which
the
wind industry is a more important target market. Wind power accounts for
an
insignificant percentage of the power generated in the PRC, and our ability
to
market to this segment is dependent upon both the growth of the acceptance
of
wind power as an energy source in the PRC and the acceptance of our products.
In
addition to manufacturing forged roll rings, we market electrical power
equipment to operators of coal-fired electricity generation plants. Our ability
to market these products is dependent upon the continued growth of
coal-generated power plants and our ability to offer products that enable
the
operators of the power plants to produce electricity through a cleaner process
than would otherwise be available at a reasonable cost. To the extent that
government regulations are adopted that require the power plants to reduce
or
eliminate polluting discharges from power plants, our equipment would need
to be
redesigned to meet such requirements.

Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date
of the financial statements as well as the reported net sales and expenses
during the reporting periods. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates
and
assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various
other
factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results
of
which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets
and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results
may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
Significant estimates in 2008 and 2007 include the allowance for doubtful
accounts, the allowance for obsolete inventory, the useful life of property
and
equipment and intangible assets, and accruals for taxes due.
Variable
Interest Entities
Pursuant
to Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (Revised), “Consolidation of
Variable Interest Entities - an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46R”)
we
are
required to include in our consolidated financial statements the financial
statements of variable interest entities. FIN 46R requires a variable interest
entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority
of the risk of loss for the variable interest entity or is entitled to receive
a
majority of the variable interest entity’s residual returns. Variable interest
entities are those entities in which we, through contractual arrangements,
bear
the risk of, and enjoy the rewards normally associated with ownership of
the
entity, and therefore we are the primary beneficiary of the entity.
The
Huayang Companies are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”), and we are
the primary beneficiary. On November 13, 2007, we entered into agreements
with
the
Huayang Companies pursuant to which we shall receive 100% of the
Huayang Companies net income. In accordance with these agreements, the
Huayang Companies shall pay consulting fees equal to 100% of its net income
to
our wholly-owned foreign subsidiary,
Green
Power, and Green Power shall supply the technology and administrative services
needed to service the
Huayang Companies.
The
accounts of the Huayang Companies are consolidated in the accompanying financial
statements pursuant to FIN 46R. As a VIE, the Huayang Companies sales are
included in our total sales, its income from operations is consolidated with
our, and our net income includes all of the Huayang Companies net income.
We do
not have any non-controlling interest and accordingly, did not subtract any
net
income in calculating the net income attributable to us. Because of the
contractual arrangements, we have pecuniary interest in the Huayang Companies
that require consolidation of our financial statements and the Huayang Companies
financial statements.
Inventories
Inventories,
consisting of raw materials and finished goods related our products are stated
at the lower of cost or market utilizing the weighted average
method.
An
allowance is established when management determines that certain inventories
may
not be saleable. If inventory costs exceed expected market value due to
obsolescence or quantities in excess of expected demand, we will record reserves
for the difference between the cost and the market value. These reserves
are
recorded based on estimates.
Property
and equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation
is
computed using straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
assets. The estimated useful lives of the assets are as follows:
|
|
Useful
Life
|

and building improvements

27
The
cost
of repairs and maintenance is expensed as incurred; major replacements and
improvements are capitalized. When assets are retired or disposed of, the
cost
and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting
gains or losses are included in income in the year of disposition.
Long-lived
assets are reviewed periodically or more often if circumstances dictate,
to
determine whether their carrying value has become impaired. We consider assets
to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows
from related operations. We also re-evaluate the amortization periods to
determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates
of useful lives.
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144,
“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we examine the
possibility of decreases in the value of fixed assets when events or changes
in
circumstances reflect the fact that their recorded value may not be recoverable.
We recognize an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future
cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of
impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair
value and its book value.
Intangible
assets
There
is
no private ownership of land in the PRC. All land in the PRC is owned by
the
government and cannot be sold to any individual or company. The government
grants a land use right that permits the holder of the land use right to
use the
land for a specified period. Our land use rights were granted with a term
of 50
years. Any transfer of the land use right requires government approval. We
have
recorded as an intangible asset the costs paid to acquire a land use right.
The
land use rights are amortized on the straight-line method over the land use
right terms ranging from 45 to 50 years.
Intangible
assets are reviewed periodically or more often if circumstances dictate,
to
determine whether its carrying value has become impaired. We consider assets
to
be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows
from
related operations. We also re-evaluate the amortization periods to determine
whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of
useful
lives.
Revenue
recognition
We
recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery
has occurred or services have been rendered, the purchase price is fixed
or
determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We account for the
product sales as a multiple element arrangement. Revenue from multiple element
arrangements is allocated among the separate accounting units based on the
residual method. Under the residual method, the revenue is allocated to
undelivered elements based on fair value of such undelivered elements and
the
residual amounts of revenue allocated to delivered elements. We recognize
revenue from the sale of dyeing and electric equipment upon shipment and
transfer of title. The other elements may include installation and generally
a
one-year warranty. Equipment installation revenue is valued based on estimated
service person hours to complete installation and is recognized when the
labor
has been completed and the equipment has been accepted by the customer, which
is
generally within a close to the date of delivery of the equipment. Warranty
revenue is valued based on estimated service person hours to complete a service
and generally is recognized over the contract period. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008, amounts allocated to warranty revenues were not
material. Based on historical experience, warranty service calls and any
related
labor costs have been minimal.
All
other
product sales, including the forging of parts, with customer specific acceptance
provisions, are recognized upon customer acceptance and the delivery of the
parts or service. Revenues related to spare part sales are recognized upon
shipment or delivery based on the trade terms.
Research
and development
Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred, and are included in general
and
administrative expenses. These costs primarily consist of cost of material
used
and salaries paid for the development of our products and fees paid to third
parties. Our total research and development expense through June 30, 2008
has
not been significant and is included in selling, general and administrative
expenses.
28
Income
taxes
We
are
governed by the Income Tax Law of the PRC. Income taxes are accounted for
under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes,” which is an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences
of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns.
The charge for taxes is based on the results for the year as adjusted for
items,
which are non-assessable or disallowed. It is calculated using tax rates
that
have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet
date.
Deferred
tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect
of
temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amount
of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding
tax
basis used in the computation of assessable tax profit. In principle, deferred
tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and
deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probably that
taxable profit will be available against which deductible temporary differences
can be utilized.
Deferred
tax is calculated using tax rates that are expected to apply to the period
when
the asset is realized or the liability is settled. Deferred tax is charged
or
credited in the income statement, except when it is related to items credited
or
charged directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt
with in
equity.
Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are offset when they related to income taxes levied
by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current
tax
assets and liabilities on a net basis.
We
adopted FASB Interpretation 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”
(“FIN 48”), as of January 1, 2007. A tax position is recognized as a benefit
only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in
a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount
recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50%
likely
of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely
than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no affect on our
financial statements.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
In
June
2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3,
Accounting
for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future
Research and Development Activities,
(“EITF
07-3”) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.
EITF 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for future research
and
development activities be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be
recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services
are
performed. It is expected that adoption of EITF 07-3 will not have a material
impact on tour results of operations, financial position or
liquidity.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business
Combinations” (“SFAS
141(R)”), which replaces SFAS No. 141. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes principles
and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial
statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The
Statement also establishes disclosure requirements which will enable users
to
evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS
141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
adoption of SFAS 141(R) may have an impact on accounting for future business
combinations once adopted.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of Accounting
Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS
160”), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership
interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount
of
consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the non-controlling
interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained
non-controlling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The
Statement also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient
disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of
the
parent and the interests of the non-controlling owners. SFAS 160 is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We have not determined
the
effect that the application of SFAS 160 will have on our financial
statements.
29
In
March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161, “Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”.
The new
standard is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments
and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors
to
better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued
for
fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with
early application encouraged. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting
SFAS 161 on our consolidated financial statements.
In
May
2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff
Position (“FSP”) APB 14-1, Accounting
for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion
(Including Partial Cash Settlement).
FSP APB
14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash
upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement)
are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting
for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase
Warrants.
Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should
separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that
will
reflect the entity’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is
recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company will adopt FSP APB
14-1
beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and this standard must be
applied
on a retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption
of
FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial position and results
of
operations.
In
May
2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.
162, The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
This
standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent
framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in
preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental
entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board’s amendments to AU Section 411, The
Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles.
The
Company does not expect SFAS No. 162 to have a material impact on the
preparation of its consolidated financial statements.
On
June
16, 2008, the FASB issued final Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1,
“Determining
Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are
Participating Securities,”
to
address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment
transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines
that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend
payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance
will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
Company is currently evaluating the requirements of (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1
as
well as the impact of the adoption on its consolidated financial
statements.

Because
the sales for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was minimal, the percentage
increase is not meaningful.
Our
revenue increases were attributable to:
· |
The
increase in revenues from the sale of dyeing and finishing equipment
was
attributable to continued strong sales of our equipment to the textile
industry.
|
· |
We
have experienced an increase in revenues from the sale of forged
rings to
the other industries such as the railway, heavy machinery manufacturing,
petrochemical, metallurgical, sea port machinery, and defense and
radar
industry. This source of revenue was nominal for the six months ended
June
30, 2007.
|
· |
Revenue
from the sale of forged rings to the wind power industry, which was
nominal in the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased to $2.6 million
and is attributable to the demand for our forged rolled rings that
will be
used in the production of wind turbine components such as gear boxes
and

to
an increase in raw material costs such as steel and other metals which could
not
be passed on to our customers during that period. Gross profits from forged
rolled rings and electric power equipment segment were $2,036,813 for the
six
months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $32,053 for the six months ended
June
30, 2007, representing gross margins of approximately 24.1% and 8.2%,

is not
an excused reason, this would result in the imposition of liquidated
damages. The investors have agreed to waive through June 30, 2008
any
liquidated damages related to the appointment of independent directors
and
the establishment of the committees. In March 2008, we elected independent
directors and have the required
committees.
|
· |
We
agreed to have a qualified chief financial officer who may be a part-time
chief financial officer until February 13, 2008. If we cannot hire
a
qualified chief financial officer promptly upon the resignation or
termination of employment of a former chief financial officer, we
may
engage an accountant or accounting firm to perform the duties of
the chief
financial officer. In
no event shall we either (i) fail to file an annual, quarter or other
report in a timely manner because of the absence of a qualified chief
financial officer, or (ii) not have a person who can make the statements
and sign the certifications required to be filed in an annual or
quarterly
report under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
|
· |
Liquidated
damages for failure to comply with the preceding two covenants are
computed in an amount equal to 12% per annum of the purchase price,
up to
a maximum of 12% of the purchase price, which is $663,000, which
is
payable in cash or Series A preferred stock valued at $0.374 per
share, at
the election of the investors.
|

We
and the investors entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant
to
which we agreed to file, by January 12, 2008, a registration statement
covering the common stock issuable upon conversion of the series
A
preferred stock and exercise of the warrants and to have the registration
statement declared effective by June 11, 2008. Our failure to have
the
registration statement declared effective by June 11, 2008 and other
timetables provided in the registration rights agreement would result
in
the imposition of liquidated damages, which are payable through the
issuance of additional shares of Series A preferred stock at the
rate of
4,860 shares of Series A preferred stock for each day, based on the
proposed registration of all of the underlying shares of common stock,
with a maximum of 1,770,000 shares. The number of shares issuable
per day
is subject to adjustment if we cannot register all of the required
shares
as a result of the SEC’s interpretation of Rule 415. The registration
rights agreement also provides for additional demand registration
rights
in the event that the investors are not able to register all of the
shares
in the initial registration statement. We
filed a registration on February 14, 2008 and the registration statement
was declared effective on June 13, 2008. We did not incur any liquidated
damages under the registration rights
agreement.

The
Investors have a right of first refusal on future
financings.
|
· |
Until
the earlier of November 13, 2011 or such time as the Investors shall
have
sold all of the underlying shares of common stock, we are restricted
from
issuing convertible debt or preferred
stock.
|
· |
Until
the earlier of November 13, 2010 or such time as the Investors have
sold
90% of the underlying shares of common stock, our debt cannot exceed
twice
the preceding four quarters earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization.
|
· |
Our
officers and directors agreed, with certain limited exceptions, not
to
publicly sell shares of common stock for 27 months or such earlier
date as
all of the convertible securities and warrants have been converted
or
exercised and the underlying shares of common stock have been
sold.
|
· |
We
paid Barron Partners $30,000 for its due diligence
expenses.
|
· |
We
entered into an escrow agreement pursuant to which we issued our
3%
convertible promissory note due March 31, 2008 in the principal amount
of
$3,000,000, which is in addition to the notes in the principal amount
of
$5,525,000 which were issued to the investors. Upon the filing of
the
restated certificate of incorporation and the certificate of designation
relating to the Series A preferred stock, this note automatically
converted into 24,787,135 shares of Series A preferred stock. The
series A
preferred stock are held in escrow subject to the
following.
|
·
|
14,787,135
shares are held pursuant to the following provisions. If, for either
the
year ended December 31, 2007 or 2008, our pre-tax earnings per share
are
less than the target numbers, all or a portion of such shares are
to be
delivered to the investors. If, for either year, the pre-tax earnings
are
less than 50% of the target, all of the shares are to be delivered
to the
investors. If the shortfall is less than 50%, the number of shares
to be
delivered to the investors is determined on a formula basis. The
target
number for 2007 was met and there were no deliveries from
escrow.
|
·
|
The
target number for 2008 is $0.13131 per
share. The per share numbers are based on all shares that are outstanding
or are issuable upon exercise or conversion of all warrants or options,
regardless of whether such shares would be used in computing diluted
earnings per share under GAAP. Based on the formula in the agreement,
there is no adjustment for 2007.
|
·
|
If
we do not file our Form 10-K for 2008 within 30 days after the filing
is
required, after giving effect to any extension permitted by Rule
12b-25
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, any shares remaining in
escrow
shall be delivered to the Investors.
|
·
|
The
remaining 10,000,000 shares of Series A preferred stock are to be
delivered to the Investors in the event that, based on our audited
financial statements for 2007 or 2008 we or certain affiliated companies
owes any taxes to the PRC government or any authority or taxing agency
of
the PRC for any period ended on or prior to September 30, 2007. For
each
$1.00 of such tax liability, four shares of Series A preferred stock
are
to be delivered to the Investors. At December 31, 2007, we did not
have
any tax liabilities covered by this covenant, as a result of which
there
was no delivery from escrow with respect to
2007.
|
· |
With
certain exceptions, until the investors have sold all of the underlying
shares of common stock, if we sell common stock or issues convertible
securities with a conversion or exercise price which is less than
the
conversion price of the Series A preferred stock and the exercise
price of
the warrants is reduced to the lower
price.
|
The
warrants have a term of five years, and expire on November 13, 2012. The
warrants provide a cashless exercise feature; however, the holders of the
warrants may not make a cashless exercise prior to November 13, 2008 in the
case
of the $0.58 warrants, and prior to May 13, 2009 in the case of the $0.83
warrants and $0.92 warrants, and after these respective periods only if the
underlying shares are not covered by an effective registration
statement.

Contractual
Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Contractual
Obligations
We
have
certain fixed contractual obligations and commitments that include future
estimated payments. Changes in our business needs, cancellation provisions,
changing interest rates, and other factors may result in actual payments
differing from the estimates. We cannot provide certainty regarding the timing
and amounts of payments. We have presented below a summary of the most
significant assumptions used in our determination of amounts presented in
the
tables, in order to assist in the review of this information within the context
of our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows.
The
following tables summarize our contractual obligations as of June 30, 2008,
and
the effect these obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash
flows in future periods.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Foreign
Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We
produce and sell almost all our products in China. Thus, most of our revenues
and operating results may be impacted by exchange rate fluctuations between
RMB
and US dollars. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, we has unrealized
foreign currency translation gain of $1,617,253, because of the change in
the
exchange rate.
As
required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, our management, including
our
Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls
and procedures
as of June 30, 2008.
39
Disclosure
controls
and procedures
refer to controls
and other procedures
designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports
we
file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and
forms
of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer,
as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In
designing and evaluating our disclosure controls
and procedures,
management recognizes that any controls
and procedures,
no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance
of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to
apply
its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls
and procedures.
Management
conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures
under the supervision of our chief executive officer and our chief financial
officer. Based on that evaluation, we concluded that because of the significant
deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting described below,
our
disclosure controls
and procedures
were not effective as of December 31, 2007.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our
management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)
under the Securities Exchange Act. Our management is also required to
assess and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
(“Section 404”). Management assessed the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007. In
making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework. During our assessment of the effectiveness
of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2007,
management identified significant deficiencies related to (i) the U.S. GAAP
expertise of our internal accounting staff, (ii) our internal audit functions
and, and (iii) a lack of segregation
of duties within accounting functions.
Although
we were a black check shell company prior to November 13, 2007 with reporting
obligations, our present business did not become subject to the reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act until November 13, 2007. We began
preparing to be in compliance with the internal control obligations, for
our
fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. During most of 2007 our internal
accounting staff was primarily engaged in ensuring compliance with PRC
accounting and reporting requirements for our operating affiliates and was
not
required to meet or apply U.S. GAAP requirements. We addressed this
condition by hiring of our chief financial officer who is familiar with U.S.
GAAP and, under his supervision, we are implanting the related internal control
procedures required of U.S. public companies, including providing training
and
assistance of our accounting staff in U.S. GAAP matters. We also have
elected independent directors and have established an audit committee which
meets with management and our independent auditors. Management has determined
that our internal audit function is also deficient due to insufficient qualified
resources to perform internal audit functions, and we are seeking to address
this deficiency.
Due
to
our size and nature, segregation of all conflicting duties may not always
be
possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent
possible, we will implement procedures to assure that the initiation of
transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions will
be
performed by separate individuals.
We
believe that the foregoing steps have significantly remediated the deficiencies
previously reported, and we will continue to monitor the effectiveness of
these
steps and make any changes that our management deems appropriate.
A
material weakness (within the meaning of PCAOB Auditing Standard No. 5) is
a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial
reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented
or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency,
or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting
that
is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention
by those responsible for oversight of the company's financial
reporting.
40
Our
management is not aware of any material weaknesses in our internal control
over
financial reporting, and we are addressing the significant weaknesses in
internal controls over financial reporting. Nothing has come to the attention
of
management that causes them to believe that any material inaccuracies or
errors
exist in our financial statement as of June 30, 2008. The reportable
conditions and other areas of our internal control over financial reporting
identified by us as needing improvement have not resulted in a material
restatement of our financial statements. We are not aware of any instance
where
such reportable conditions or other identified areas of weakness have resulted
in a material misstatement of omission in any report we have filed with or
submitted to the Commission.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may
not
prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness
to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the
policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Changes
in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Except
as
described above, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial
reporting during the second quarter of fiscal year 2008 that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
